Ceiling Fan Installation and Rehang for High Ceilings in Matthews, NC
Touchstone Electric’s Lighting & Ceiling Fans team completed a detailed project in Matthews, NC for homeowner Nick Collinson. On February 21, 2024, our Charlotte branch sent technician Theo Coetsee to remove an existing master bedroom fan, reinstall it securely in a tall living room, and install a new customer-supplied ceiling fan in the bedroom. We also performed our Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold electrical safety check for added peace of mind.
Primary service category: Lighting & Ceiling Fans | Secondary: Ceiling Fan Installation | Branch location: Matthews (Charlotte business unit)
Project Overview
This home had a tall living room where the old bedroom fan needed to be rehung safely. High ceilings (approximately 14–18 feet) require specialized access and a careful approach to ensure the fan is correctly supported, balanced, and tested. Our team arrived with an oversized A-frame ladder and the necessary two-person setup to complete the job efficiently and safely.
What We Completed
- Rehung the existing fan in the living room (high ceiling): Utilized an oversized A-frame ladder and a two-person team to position, secure, and balance the fan. We verified the existing fan-rated box and made sure all connections were tight and protected before testing operation at all speeds.
- Installed a customer-supplied ceiling fan in the bedroom: Mounted the new fan on the existing fan-rated box/circuit, assembled components, connected wiring, confirmed correct rotation for the season, and tested the light and fan controls.
- Annual Home Safety Membership – Gold check: Conducted a thorough safety review including smoke/CO detector checks, electrical panel observations, code-related updates, and inspection for loose, worn, or deteriorated connections. We also verified sealed connectors and general system condition to help maintain reliability.
By addressing both rooms in one visit, the homeowner gained improved comfort in the living room’s tall space and an updated look and performance in the bedroom.
High-Ceiling Fan Rehang Expertise
Working on high ceilings demands the right equipment and careful coordination. Our approach focuses on stability, proper anchoring to a fan-rated box, and blade balancing to reduce wobble and noise. We also ensure appropriate downrod and mounting hardware are used for tall spaces, and we run a full functional test to confirm safe, smooth operation.
Safety and Quality You Can Feel
With our Gold safety check, we look at more than the fixture install. We review essential safety points—detectors, panel condition, and connection integrity—so that your new or rehung fan isn’t just attractive and functional, but also supported by an electrical system that’s in good working order.
- Smoke/CO detector status and placement check
- Panel safety observations and labeling review
- Inspection for loose, worn, or deteriorated connections
- Sealed connectors and code-related updates where applicable
